The former home of the world number one golfer is up for sale with a £2.5m price tag.

Open Champion Rory McIlroy’s former five-bedroom 15-acre home on the edge of Belfast has been put on the market, according to property portal Zoopla.

The contemporary property on Hillsborough Road includes a professionally-laid golf practice area and a driving range - both designed by the world number one himself - which extends to eight acres.

There are four greens, two of which are seeded with grass to US PGA standard.

McIlroy sold the house to property developer Gary McCausland two years ago and now the property is expected to attract significant interest from buyers throughout Europe and the US.

The property also includes an all-weather tennis court and freshwater lake along with consent for a swimming pool, spa, gym and staff quarters plus the opportunity to add another three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and dressing rooms above the annex.
